But then we are in the same position with Russell that we were in with Brunson last year and Wood this year if we don't extend. We will be bird rights trapped meaning if we don't land him then we can't replace him with cap space. That means he has a ton of leverage and all it takes is one team to decide he is worth his current contract.
If he is not worth that contract, then he is a negative asset and I don't know why we would want to send out Dinwiddie (who folks want to trade because he might be a positive asset) for a negative one.
